Which error occurs?

Question

int a=5/0;

is this a logical or runtime error (in JDK8)?

Answer 1

From Wikipedia:

The infinities of the extended real number line can be represented in IEEE floating point datatypes, just like ordinary floating point values like 1, 1.5 etc. They are not error values in any way, though they are often (but not always, as it depends on the rounding) used as replacement values when there is an overflow. Upon a divide by zero exception, a positive or negative infinity is returned as an exact result.
